Hi Danielle

Have you started any fundraisers yet? Could you get your surf lifesaver buddies to help out with fundraising? Who is your local MP maybe you could go talk to them. It sucks you are in this situation and yes you are important. Thank you for your community support as a lifesaver.I have donated and wish you all the very best with getting to your goal.

Danielle

Hi Laurie,

Thank you for you question, indeed a good one, at this stage I have contacted Focal Point to see if I can held an event of selling movie tickets to fund raise for my cause, I had no reply from them, maybe will try again this week.

My local mp would be Nathan Guy, Will definitely give him an email tomorrow! thanks for the idea :)

Thank you for your kindness of donating and your words :) I just do what I can on this World and not letting anything stop me, I just want to be able to achieve more than I can,

thank you I do hope I get a Cochlear implant soon :)

Hi Danielle,

Try emailing helpdesk@givealittle.co.nz

I got there by going to HOME PAGE the LEARN MORE then HELP AND SUPPORT. Scroll down and you will see their address. Or may be easier to email them direct.I guess they will have access to the page to view the other problems below.

I note that when I clicked on 'PAGES' it said your page was no longer active.

This might be because, having exceeded $60, the page thinks you have achieved your goal amount.

And also when I go to the Home page and search your name it says 'O Results'

Very frustrating!

Might have made potential donators give up in frustration.

They need to sort these things out for you asap so that you get the follow-on benefit from the broadcast and can get your operation.

Go get 'em!

Danielle

bummer, okay thank you for this information, I have emailed them and hopefully it will all be settled

UPDATE, they have changed it for me :) hopefully your still able to acess it and that it still showing :)

still waiting on a reply for the moderation

Hi Danielle,

It's not clear from your Give a little page that you need to raise $90,000.

I know this because I saw the item on TV but your page suggests you only need $60 !!!

Some people visiting the page might think you have already raised more than you need.

Also, you mis-spelled 'motivated' in your Bio.

Good luck.

Danielle

hi there John,

I'm very aware of that, and I can't seem to update it or even change it!! it somehow wont let me, so i'm not sure what to do,

do you have any ideas?

otherwise most people know my story and know that i need $60,000 to $90,000 to fund for,

Thank you for the spelling error, I'm not very good at spelling,

Danielle
